Stares. He senses something about her.
She barely got off the ship from Hoenn to Alola, a lollipop in her mouth, her phone ( with Poogle Maps open ) in one hand, the other in her pockets. It takes her a few seconds to realize someone is staring, to which she slowly looks up, pops the candy out of her mouth and waves.
"'sup dude."
Sheeeeee's quite sure she saw them in the past. Some news about Kahunas or something? Welp. She's waving.
first meeting prompts except that they’re not super generic feel free to change pronouns if needed!
accidental & awkward
« sorry! i didn’t see you here! »
« can you help me? i think i’m lost. »
« oh uhm. thank you for catching me. »
« hi buddy! what are you- oh. oh no. you’re not them. »
« please don’t tell me you’re laughing because of me. i… didn’t see that pole. »
excited & friendly
« hi! it’s so nice to meet you! »
« oh my gosh i love your hair! »
« my friends told to me a lot about you! »
« i’m sorry, where did you get that shirt? it looks amazing! »
« oh i know you! i mean, not really, but i heard things about you and you’re so neat! »
evil & threatening
« so. we meet at last. »
« guess i’ll have to kill you too, then. »
« i see someone wants to play the hero, hm? »
« who do you think you are, trying to stop me? »
« you may not know me, but i know what you did. »
flirty & touchy
« come here often? »
« can i offer you a drink? »
« where have you been all my life? »
« are you busy tonight? because i have some ideas for us… »
« i was told you were cute, but you’re much better than i thought. »
"Wait, real?"
Cue a thumbs up.
"Cool, thanks dude. Then hold on one sec."
And at that she turns to the boat, puts two fingers between her lips and whistles. In a matter of seconds here comes Lyle, her Blaziken, effortlessly holding- Oh that's a lot of bags. She picked up-- arguably the biggest one, one hell of a trekking backpack, but that's still a lot.
"Can you hold 'em a little longer, buddy?"
Cue another thumbs up, this time from the Blaziken.
"Hella." again, she returns the same gesture before fixing the bag on her shoulder, turning again to Hau "Okay, lead the way."
"Oh! I do know where that is, actually!"
"I can take you there if you want? I don't have anything better to do right now anyway." It would take their mind off swimming, too. Apparently you can't swim with a new tattoo? Mean to him.
"Ayuuup! I relax just fine everyday, I just wanted some extra spice, you know?"
Sometimes you have to dive in new seas, climb new volcanoes, get lost in new woods… and sleep in new beds!
"From Hoenn, actually. Surfed on a few Sharpedos back at home, but from what I heard Mantines are much easier to deal with, yea?" a calm chuckle "But if you have any tips, I'll be ready to take some notes."
Holy shit this woman had some power in her. He'd have to ask for some work-out tips later.
"Oh, heck yeah! So active activities and battling? Sounds right up my alley, actually."
At the mention of Mantine surfing he chuckles. "It's actually pretty fun! Can give you some tips if you want? But honestly, I doubt you'd need them." She looked like she'd rock the waves with ease. "Where are you from originally?"
"There isn't much time only if you don't seek it, my guy."
She even paces around, as relaxed as ever.
"Especially if you're worrying too much about everything all the tiiiime.
In fact, y'know what? Instead of asking ourselves ehere to go and wonder if we would have the time, let's go to the airport and get the first plane we find. We can afford that, anyway!"
Terastilisation did sound like a fascinating phenomenon to investigate and learn more about... But likewise, he was equally as interested in Dynamaxing.
"A lot of places sound rather fun..." he sighed. Anywhere but holed up in his office at Devon seemed nice right about now. "Sometimes that feels like half the problem. So many places to see and so little time to visit them all! I've travelled almost every inch of Hoenn, and yet I still discover new things occasionally."
--there we go.
"The same guy I defeated a handful of times already?"
Maybe a little bit of an exaggeration, but so far she was having way more luck in battle than him. Jorge was quick to jump on the side, hopping around the room and, most importantly, around both the Muk and its Trainer, almost trying to either distract them both or even make the Pokèmon hit Archie himself.
A trickster at heart, not unlike the little girl who just waltzed in an ecoterrorist group's base and started wrecking everything in her way.
"Psych up!", she chirps, the Sylveon stopping to charge up before restarting to hop around.
"Bwahaha!!"
More laughter echoes through the room as Archie plucks a Pokéball from the belt clip. He tosses it into the air, and out comes his Muk. An unpleasant aroma fills the air as the Pokémon cries out angrily.
"Wouldn't dare dissapoint now, would I? Who d'ya take me fer?"
A wave of his hand, and the Poison-type starts preparing a Sludge Wave to toss at the opposing Sylveon.

“oh uhm. thank you for catching me”
"Yeah, no probs"
She's so calmly holding them by the back of their shirt, lifting them with ease as if they weighted like a couple of Grepa Berries before settling them back down on the ground, giving a calm thumbs up. As chill and cool as she could be.
"Ah, no probs, my guy."
She's-- she's giving a thumbs up. She's holding on that giant ass bag and she's giving a thumbs up as if it was nothing. Girl what's your diet.
"That was kinda the point of this vacay, actually" she fixes the bag a little more, trotting behind them "Trekking and the battle tree. Aaaand maybe some Mantine surfing? Like, I knooow it's a tourist trap, but" a chuckle "consider me trapped, yeah?"
Oh that's. A ton of bags???
Hau is pretty impressed by the Blaziken's strength-- And sapphire's, too.
"Follow me. And if I need to help carry anything, let me know." Hau turns on his heel, starting to walk in the direction he remembered it being in.
"It's a bit of a trek, truth be told. But it's pretty worth it from what I've heard."
Her smile widened ever so slightly.
"Now we're talkin', Stevie!"
She's not dropping the fucking nickname, nope!
"Thinking too much will make your brain melt. I found the best places I've ever seen just while walking around a random town I ended up droppin' in after skydiving, actually. In fact--"
--she pulls out her phone!
"Want me to roll? Right now. No backsies."
Ooh. Spotaneity and impulsivity. A roll of the dice as to where they'd be off too. He liked that thought.
"...Actually, that sounds like a fun idea! Why should we have to decide when we can have the world do it for us?"
